Would love to somehow sneak a draw here. Don’t really see it happening though.

Poll needs a Jack Watts option.

Let's start the end of Mou, Season 3 style!

Man United vs Leicester 5-0

I hate you.



Still, that's three seasons in a row, and... four in our five season's since we've returned? (I could've sworn Sunderland was also opening night.)

Let's face it, we're the only way to start the season! Who said they didn't do big games in Matchday 1?

 

[FISTO]

Lets see. No signings and most of our important players played deep into the WC. Needless to say my confidence has been higher...

I like what Fulham have done and curious to see how they go.

Has a Mourinho team ever scored 5?

Reckon we do OK against City. I am not sure how strong they will be given Belgium's deep run. If Kompany and KDB miss it wouldn't be the worst thing

For some reason I knew as soon as I saw my post had been quoted this match immediately sprung to mind

I suppose it's easy to forget when you would have only seen 5 mins of footage of the game on the highlights show

Going to be a tough match for us. Few senior players will get a run out on Sunday but the majority wouldn't have played in the pre-season.

Maybe a good chance for a few fringe/kids to get an early match under their belt.

Salah on the scoresheet for Chelsea. So weird.

 

[jod23]

Cant believe we are back already. I love the World Cup. Got us through the break nicely!

 

[DBAH0]

Glad to get a top 6 club post World Cup in round one.

Hoping we can sneak a surprise result as we did at the Emirates 3 years ago in the opening fixture.

21 days between the world cup final and community shield. That's almost too short.

Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to it, but it feels like the new season has come around too quick.

Definitely too short.

Arsenal will be really bad in defense this season. You should score at least 4 goals.

Great from a spectating point of view but very harsh on the players that went deep at the cup.

Can't say I've followed your off-season closely but I thought you'd made a few decent signings in that area.

The only good defensive signing Arsenal have made is Torreira and he has not played in preseason.

Ramsey, Xhaka and Torreira will all be doubtful or not fully ready for this game as well.

You don’t think Sokratis or Lichiensteiner will be much help?

I wish you’d sign players with easier last names btw, I’m guessing I’ve got both of those names wrong.

Watched a bit of Arsenal v Chelsea the other day and Arsenal did seem all over the place on set pieces.

But that was more that kid that scored a few goals this season. Wouldn't expect him to be playing against us.

Meh. Bring it on!!

I can just see Mou being all fired up for R1 after all the negative publicity he has endured. 5-0 was maybe a bit far though, especially considering it is the Mancs!
